this isn't a fox-- this a 411. and it is in fact a VW. VERY rare ride in the US, they were only sold for a few years.

Beautiful looking Notchback! Makes me miss my '71 Squareback I sold to my brother. Type 3s are alot of fun, and not extremely common. I'm diggin' the Subaru engine swap you did, very nice!! I bet it hauls ass now. I checked out your other site documenting the build up. Good job. Have fun with it, and stay true to VW!!
